Aug. 29 — The Cranberries’ 1996 album, To The Faithful Departed will receive renewed attention later this year in a new re-issue.

The record is scheduled for a deluxe, expanded re-issue Oct. 13 on separate vinyl and CD releases through Island/UMe. The album was the band’s highest charting record in the United States and sold more than 6 million copies worldwide. It reached No. 1 in six nations.

Cranberries drummer Fergal Lawler spoke fondly of the album and the band’s late singer Delores O’Riordan in a prepared statement:

“I hadn’t heard these tracks for a long time but have spent many days over the past year or so listening intently to these songs,” Lawler said. “As difficult as it was to hear Dolores’ voice, they brought back many fond memories. I was shocked at how powerful they sounded and the strong emotions that I felt as I listened.”

The expanded 3CD set features 12 rare live tracks, a handful of previously unreleased outtakes and early mixes of the album. The expanded 2LP and 3 LP re-issues will each feature three previously unreleased demo songs and new liner notes penned by the band’s surviving members as well as Eoin Devereux.
